FORMAT: 1A HOST: https://api.apiblueprint.org # API Blueprint API API Blueprint parsing service provides parsing of API Blueprint "as a service". ## Media Types The API uses [content negotiation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_negotiation) heavily. Send requests with the `Content-Type` header set to the right input media type and use the `Accept` header to select desired output as a response. ### Resource State Representation ``` application/hal+json ``` Where applicable this API uses the [HAL+JSON](https://github.com/mikekelly/hal_specification/blob/master/hal_specification.md) media type to represent resource states and to provide available affordances. ### Error States The common [HTTP Response Status Codes](https://github.com/for-GET/know-your-http-well/blob/master/status-codes.md) are used. Error responses use the [vnd.error](https://github.com/blongden/vnd.error) media type. ## Service Root [/] API entry point. This resource does not have any attributes, instead it provides list of available affordances. ### Affordances - `parse` - Parse an API description See _API Description Parser_ resource's _Parser_ action for details. - `compose` - Composes an API description See _API Description Composer_ resource's _Compose_ action for details. ### List [GET] + Relation: index + Response 200 (application/hal+json) + Headers Link: <http://docs.apiblueprint.apiary.io>; rel="profile" + Body { "_links": { "self": {"href": "/"}, "parse": {"href": "/parser"}, "compose": {"href": "/composer"} } } ## API Description Parser [/parser] Parse an API description format. ### Parse [POST] API Blueprint parsing is performed as it is provided by the [Drafter](https://github.com/apiaryio/drafter) reference parser. #### Input Media Types ##### API Blueprint ``` text/vnd.apiblueprint ``` API Blueprint as defined in its [specification](https://github.com/apiaryio/api-blueprint/blob/master/API%20Blueprint%20Specification.md). ##### Swagger 2.0 ``` application/swagger+yaml application/swagger+json ``` Swagger as defined in its [specification](http://swagger.io/specification) #### Output Media Types ##### API Description Parse Result Namespace ``` application/vnd.refract.parse-result+json application/vnd.refract.parse-result+yaml ``` General-purpose result of the parsing operation. The parse result is in form of the Refract data structure as defined in its [specification](https://github.com/refractproject/refract-spec). The parse result data comply with the [Parse Result Namespace](https://github.com/refractproject/refract-spec/blob/master/namespaces/parse-result-namespace.md). + Relation: parse + Request Parse API Blueprint into Parse Result Namespace as JSON (text/vnd.apiblueprint) + Headers Accept: application/vnd.refract.parse-result+json + Body # Hello API ## /message ### GET + Response 200 (text/plain) Hello World!
